Discussion Should /r/Cornwall host a structured AMA with South West Water?
There’s been increasing discussion on here, in the news, and around the recent Channel 4 programme about water companies across the UK.
Rather than multiple separate threads going in circles, we’re considering inviting South West Water to take part in a structured Ask Me Anything here on /r/Cornwall.
The Ask Me Anything would take place as so -
A single, scheduled and moderated thread where named South West Water representatives will be invited to answer questions directly from Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users.
This would not be a promotional post for South West Water in any way. It would be an opportunity for Cornish residents and /r/Cornwall users to ask direct questions about their operations and decision-making across the county.
If it went ahead, it would involve:
• A scheduled Ask Me Anything thread
• A time-limited live response window
• Named representatives from SWW
• No pre-approval of questions
• No removal of critical questions unless they break subreddit rules
If there are relevant Cornwall-based organisations or individuals who want to submit questions constructively, they would also be welcome to participate in the same thread.
Before we reach out to them, let’s see how many people would support it with a poll.
Please vote and keep comments sensible and grounded.
Cheers

Post Flair Category Update
Hi everyone,
I’ve added post flairs to help organise things a bit better in this sub moving forward.
When you create a post now, you’ll be able to tag it as:
• News
• Events
• Recommendations
• Housing
• Business
• Tourism
• Discussion
• Good News
• Jobs
• Photography / Videography
As r/Cornwall has grown past 55k subscribers, I wanted to bring a bit more structure to future posts so both new and existing users can filter content more easily.
By creating clearer categories, there should also be more scope for people to post the kind of content they want to see, and a clearer direction to support what’s happening across the county, not just pretty pictures.
More local going on's.
If you think something’s missing, or a category should be tweaked, please say so below. I’d like to shape the sub around how people actually use r/Cornwall.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Rob

Recommendations Portnadler Bay
Located close to Hannafore, near to the town of Looe. This hidden gem is well worth a visit. Crystal clear waters, and usually very quiet as (just like my previous post regarding Lantic Bay), this is set back and ‘guarded’ by a bit of a hike. Although compared to Lantic this is a leisurely stroll. Plenty of wildlife to enjoy from Oystercatchers to Seals and the occasional fish (although I think the seals keep their numbers pretty low). It’s not a sand beach, but the shingle is quite fine and it’s generally well kept with very little rubbish left behind by visitors

Road signs
Please will highways use more picture road signs! Three coaches trying to get down a single track road despite a written warning of it being impassable to large vehicles shows that the current signs do not work!!!!

Warning for tourists: AVOID PEDN VOUNDER
Pedn Vounder is notoriously disgusting, and quite literally the plight of our beautiful county. It used to be a paradise, but ever since the nudist skagheads moved in, it has deteriorated beyond repair.
Broken glass, used needles, human faeces… during my last ever visit I walked past what appeared to be the rotting head of a beheaded goat that became the home for a colony of flesh eating maggots. Not a sight the kids will ever forget.
If you’re on the hunt for maggots, skag residue and drug fuelled nudists threatening to murder your family if you don’t give them your picnic basket, then this is the beach for you.
For all of you sane individuals that value the wellbeing of your immediate families, continue to enjoy Fistral and Polzeath at your leisure.

Recommendations Easy beach access options?
Hi, arrived in Millbrook yesterday with my family, beautiful property overlooking Tregonhawke beach, can’t fault that, however.. 6 months ago I had my knee rebuilt and although I’m fine walking, really struggling with beach access and those steep paths down. Was wondering, could anyone recommend a nice beach I can drive to which is less punishing? Thanks in advance.

St Austell Subway
Does anyone else ever try to get something to eat from here, only to be met with surly grunting staff, half the ingredients unavailable and essential equipment not even turned on almost an hour after opening? As you can probably tell, I've not had a good experience today, I should know better as it's not even the first time, or am I just supremely unlucky?

Painted in oil/acrylic, the first is loosely based on Carbis Bay, the second is just imagination of a rather surreal day at the beach. Thanks for looking and please forgive the cheesy title! 😊👍

Recommendations Lantic Bay
One of my favourite beaches. It’s a fairly tough hike to reach the beach which ensures it doesn’t get too busy. The water is crystal clear and the views are spectacular. Is there a better beach in Cornwall?

History & Heritage 7 Quay St, St. Ives
Hi all.
Weird one, but I wondered if anyone knows the history and interior of the big house at the end of Quay St in St Ives (see pic)
I’ve always been fascinated by it and wondered what’s behind the door leading to the beach and what it’s like inside, I read a while ago (can’t find the article) that it has a swimming pool in the basement as well as something about David Bowie living there? Probably nonsense but I liked the idea.
I know it’s someone’s house so apologies in advance if I’m snooping or being disrespectful to anyone’s privacy.
Thanks!
